How to set up a csf file in Bridge from my printer-supplied icc?

We are a small magazine sending PDF files to a printer out of state (printing on a heat-set web press with a newish stocatto system). We are PC using CS2.
We have gotten inconsistent color from our printer using Adobe recommended color settings in CS2, and so our printer has just supplied us with their icc profile. I have loaded it in all apps but do not know how to load it into Bridge so that Bridge says all is synchronized. I have asked our printer for a csf file but they do not have one or know what I am talking about.
Do you have any suggestions? Can I make my own csf file using the new icc profile?

Dorinda,
the best place for defining color setting files is IMO
Photoshop by Edit > Color Settings.
Examples:
RGB: sRGB or AdobeRGB(1998) (may be called aRGB).
CMYK: SWOP or ISOCoated or the profile as supplied by
your printer.
Grayscale: Dot Gain 20% (for Coated) or for instance
Black Ink ISO Coated, which is derived from ISOCoated.
Never a 'Gamma'.
Spot: widely uncertain, use Dot Gain 20% or Black Ink
ISO Coated.
The settings can be saved in Photoshop by an understan-
dable filename, for instance by:
aRGB-ISO-20-20.csf
In Bridge simply load this file for synchronisation,
especially if local settings in Photoshop, InDesign or
Illustrator were changed.
For Acrobat I would rely more on actual local settings.
For instance, a document's output rendering intent can
override working spaces.

How to set up a basic file sharing server for my small architectural business?

I have no idea if I have posted in the correct area as this is my first forum post within the apple support community!
I have been using a 21.5" imac running 10.6.8 for the past 5 years to run my small home based architectural design business. I have been using the internal hard drive & backing up the necessary data to a simple usb external hard drive. I am now looking to firstly purchase a new imac 27" retina and purchase new autocad lt 2015 for mac software. I am looking to have another imac (my old mac) running in conjunction with the new mac. I want both macs to be able to access the same data and am slightly unsure what is the best way to achieve this.....As my old mac is currently only running snow leopard and an old version of autocad for mac 2011 it wont run on any more recent OS. Essentially i believe I have 2 main options with this.... (1) I Accept that I have to purchase 2 no. autocad lt 2015 licences @ a cost of £2300. Or option (2), I only run autocad on the new mac as this will be the primary station and the old mac used for primarily for admin & accounts. I have also recently discovered that it is possible to rent autocad licences for £300p/a which may also be another option (3)!
I previously had a problem where my hard drive failed on my mac & lost all data on the internal hard drive, luckily I had been backing up all data regularly to my external hard drive and now loss occurred! Obviously with any new system I want to ensure that my data is safe!
I currently utilise about 250GB of data for business operations but this will obviously grow with time.
In the future I would like to have the option of potentially being able to access the network data remotely via macbook pro whilst abroad although at this stage this really isnt my primary objective. Although I believe I could achieve this through apple remote desktop.
I suppose I should provide some information with regard to the required speed of the system...I regularly open 50-100 photos at the same time totalling around 250-500MB. I would like the system to be able to handle this fairly easily.
I have been trawling through forums and to be honest they are totally confusing me. I have also spent time on the phone to the apple business team and have also discussed my objectives with a member of the apple team in store.
There have been various options advised to me and I really do not know which is the most appropriate route forward.
1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!

Hi sblemings,
Welcome to the community.
I think with your scenario you should ask yourself, how complicated do you want the setup to be and how much time would you have to be able to resolve an issue should one occur with this setup.
All the options that have been advised would work but they come with complexity and therefore time.
1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!
option 1
Would be a way to achieve what you want, it would centralise your files and you would only need to backup your file server (as long as all the files you wanted backed up were on it). This could be achieved either using the client and sharing various folders or using Server which would give you more options than you would possibly need.
option 2
This is exactly like option 1 except that you wouldn't have to administer another mac however you may limit any future growth.
option 3
This option I probably wouldn't pick, you could achieve this with firewire and use a firewire to thunderbolt adapter (saves you having to buy a new iMac)
option 4
This option would, depending on your RAID level, give you disk redundancy but remember you would still need to back this up, as RAID is NOT a backup solution.
I would also ask is there a pressing need to keep the old iMac in service and complicating things by having a server / NAS? Could you not just transfer all your information over to this and continue with the one backup? I would say that doing it this was would be the simplest way of achieving what you want from what I can take from your question.
As for remotely accessing your data, if you have the right hardware the way to achieve this would be to use a VPN and connect back to your data. However a potentially easier way for you ,would be to use a service like logmein or teamviewer to connect back.
Hope this helps, and by all means any questions please ask.

I also don't understand, but if you mean how to display only files with a certain extension in your JFileChooser then you should have a look at the JFileChooser API:

How to Set Polling Options of a DB adapter From EnterpriseManager/AdminCons

HI All,
We all know after Dragging a DB adapeter we can manually set the polling Options in J developer
However,
My query is how to Set Polling Options of a DB adapter From EnterpriseManager/AdminCons so that we dun hav to change our code and redeploy if any change is asked for.
My DB adapter is deployed to EM.(SOA Server).
Polling Options are like:
From the Polling Frequency list, select how frequently to poll for new records or events.
In the Database Rows per XML Document field, specify the number of rows per XML document when sending events to Oracle BPEL PM or Mediator. This is the batch setting between the database adapter and its consumer: Oracle BPEL PM or Mediator.
In the Database Rows per Transaction field, select Unlimited or enter a value to indicate the number of table rows to process during a single transaction.
When polling the database for events, you can order the returned rows by the selected column by using the Order By list. The best practice is to choose <No Ordering>, as message ordering regardless is not guaranteed without extra configuration.

Hi,
Inside your composite (in the EM), you can see there is a category table call 'Services and References'.
Under it, find the name of your JCA Adapter, where you've define the polling from the DB. Click on it and go to the property tab.
There you can find all the parameters you've set and more.
After you finish update it, click on Apply (this will automatically poll the data).

How do I get my .csf file setting to show up in the Convert to Profile or Proof as menu choices?

I received specific menu choices for Color Settings from a commercial printer I use. I went to Edit<Color Settings and saved them as a .csf file in User/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Color/Settings. I named the .csf file after the printer. When I go back into Edit<Color Settings and open the Settings menu I am able to choose the settings I saved from the list of settings. Now I open an image in PhotoShop and go to Edit<Convert to Profile. In the dialog box I open the Profile menu, but the settings I saved in Edit<Color Setting are not one of the Profile choices. Am I confusing Setting and Profiles? How do I Convert an image file to the setting given me by the printer? I also wanted to proof as per the printer's settings. When I go to View<Proof setup<Custom I can choose Working CMYK Web Coated SWOP 2006 Grade 3 Paper, which is generally the profile this printer is using. But I can't choice my specific color settings saved under the printer's that I previously saved in Edit<Color Settings. In the Proof Setup dialog box when I press the load button I can navigate to the Settings folder where my .csf file is saved, but it is greyed-out so I can't choose it. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Please advise/help. Thank you.

"Am I confusing Setting and Profiles?"
Yes. A Color Settings File (CSF) will contain values for all the controls in the Color Settings dialog. One of these controls specifies the profile to be used for the CMYK Working Space. That profile will be used by default when you create a new CMYK document or convert an RGB (or some other colour space) document to CMYK.
The profile, not the CSF, will be at the top of the list of CMYK options in the Convert to Profile dialog, as "Working CMYK - <name of your CMYK profile>". However, you may want to skip that dialog and instead do Image > Mode > CMYK, which will simply raise a prompt asking you whether to proceed with the conversion to your CMYK Working Space profile.
In View > Proof Setup menu, item "Working CMYK" also will use the profile that's specified in Color Settings, then "Custom..." in the same menu will give access to options to simulate paper and black ink.

Hi Sejoon,
when we changed the host of XI server in one of our projects one of the things we had to change was the exchange profile entries
http://server:port/exchangeProfile/index.html
to see how your adapter engine is configured
http://server:port/sld
SLD -> Content Maintenance
then
Subset: landscape description
Class: XI Adapter Framework
buth check the exchange profile entries first

How to set/get the archive file attribute?

I am programing a (freeware!) ftp client and need to know, how to set/get the archive attribute of a local file. I was searching through whole the i-net - nothing at all!
please help me!!

Hi,
Since not all operating systems support the archive attribute, this ain't included in the JDK.
If you're using Microsoft Foundation Classes for Java, then you can use File.getAttributes(String path) and check whether the result equals FileAttribute.ARCHIVE.
For setting the attribute, you can use
File.setAttributes(String path, FileAttribute.ARCHIVE)
Of course this is all Microsoft-specific stuff.
Hope this helps,
Kurt.

I need this fix immediately. Your help will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

First of all, my understanding is that you need to have a Servlet 2.4 complaint server to do this...Given that, you're supposed to be able to simply specify the Name of the servlet as the welcome-file to get it to work. For example:
Your servlet section:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Controller</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.company.ControllerServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>Now you would add the following to your welcome file list:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>Controller</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>Note that you use the servlet-name value from the servlet definition, NOT the url-mapping from the servlet-mapping section.
Please note that I cannot verify this as I am running a 2.3 server at home. When I get to work Friday I can test on a 2.4 machine. However this shouldn't take you more than a minute to test.
Note that I did try this on the 2.3 compliant server and it did NOT work (as I expected)...

How to avoid creation of _(file.*), coping from tiger to pc?

how to avoid the creation of this file for ever on a pc environment??
I explain: as i copy any image file, it goes to a spooler directory and that begins instantly to process the file to an OPI server, separating CMYK channels, converting it to high and low resolution...
but as this _(file) is created (same name and extension, but 0Kb and with this _ underscore in the beggining of it name), it begins to process it, and as it really does not exists as an image itself, it crashes the OPI server, forcing us to restart it...
and then, you can imagine the mess, because we're a newspaper, with more than 100 machines logged in two cities simultaneously...
thanks for those who replied last topic I posted about some softwares to delete it! it really worked!!
but now, can anyone have a clue how to DON'T create this file?
thanks in advance!

I believe that command is supposed to stop the creation .DS_Store files on servers. Also, I think the plist file gets written to the user ~/Library/Pref, it probably ought to exist both there and in the /Library/Pref folder to really work.
I didn't think the Save for Web option would work for your purposes. I don't believe anything will work except to strip the resource fork off the files before you send them. There is an Applescript that will do it, using a UNIX command in the script. You select a folder, run the Applescript, and it strips the resource fork off all files in the folder and creates a sub-folder called Stripped with resourceless copies of the files in the original:
-- Strip resource fork and metadata in Tiger for one file.
-- If a folder is selected creates an unresourced subfolder of the selected folder
tell application "Finder"
     try
          set aFile to the selection as alias
          set aFolder to the container of aFile
     on error
          display dialog "Select a file"
          return
     end try
     set aFile to the quoted form of POSIX path of aFile
     do shell script "rsync -a " & aFile & " " & aFile & "Stripped; mv " & aFile & "Stripped " & aFile
     update aFolder
end tell
The "do shell script" line must be all a single line in Script Editor. It might wrap funny in the browser. Anyway, copy it, paste into Script Editor, hit compile, and save it as an application. I've only fooled with it a little tiny bit, so I'm not sure whether the rsync process would have any strange effects on complex Photoshop and EPS files or not.
As far as I know the only way to send Mac files without resource forks to a server is to strip them from the files.

How to run script on selected files in Bridge

I have a script that takes an open Photoshop document and saves it to four different resolutions in different folders. I'd like to be able to select files in Bridge and run the script on the selected files instead of having to do it each image individually in PS. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks!
Eric

A fairly easy way, you can add your script to the 'Scripts' menu, then create an action that calls this script (use 'Insert Menu Item' to add to your action) and call this action through a batch in Bridge. One issue with this, though, is that it does require creating an action to specifically call the script, I don't know if you can call the script directly from Bridge.
I haven't scripted Bridge at all myself, but I believe you should also be able to rewrite your script to get the selection in Bridge, and process those files in Photoshop.
If your script is set up to process one file at a time, the Bridge/Batch technique is the simplest way to do it.
If your script needs to know what all of the files are before it can begin processing, you have to add a Menu element in Bridge and have it call your action/script in Photoshop. A bit more complicated, but there are a lot of examples of this at ps-scripts.com.

Loading csf files into bridge

how/where do I load my own printer's csf file so that it appears in Bridge's color sync panel? Can get it in CS^ InD and PS via common files but not Bridge.

no, don't want to print from bridge. Talking about the color settings sync panel - I don't like any of the presets in it. It probably doesn't matter but I can't sync my settings.
